WAR ON PALESTINE: Which part of the sentence “UN troops to Gaza” do you not understand?

(April 27, 2025)

– the militias of Hamas, Islamic Jijad and of every other armed group in Gaza lay down their weapons and try to explain why they were inviting the fascist regime of Israel to massacre over 50.000 people in Gaza, thousands in Lebanon, hundreds in the West Bank and scores in Yemen and and and…

– UN troops from, let‘s say, Algeria, South Africa, Nicaragua and Vietnam are marching into Gaza, with air defense systems shooting everything off the sky that has no feathers, in- and outgoing…

– end of genocidal war, occupation, ethnic cleansing, barbary and suffering in Gaza. And, for that matters, safety for the Israeli population, too. Because one thing has been undeniable proven: if it‘s about protecting them, they cannot rely on the Israeli military, spies and police…

– free, fair and safe elections in Gaza. (What do you think: will the Palestinians thank their noble „resistance“ for this nightmare at the ballot box? When they are free to speak their minds and there are armed and friendly UN soldiers standing before the electoral offices?)

– self-governance of Gaza, with – again – UN boots on the ground.
